Implementation of the Lottery System
When there are more students than available spaces, a lottery will be held. The maximum number of students that can be admitted per grade level is 115 and once we have reached our limit per grade level, a lottery list will be established.
Students who seek to register after we have reached our limit will be placed on the lottery list. If space opens up, the student applicant will be notified of their acceptance and an enrollment appointment will be set. Students will remain on the waitlist until notified by the family that they wish to be removed.
